What is MaplePrimes?

• A Web community dedicated to sharing experiences, techniques, and opinions about Maple and related products, as well as general interest topics in math and computing.
• Using the framework of blogs, forums, and a more open editorial policy, it provides a vehicle for enthusiasts to present their thoughts, and for inquiring minds to get answers.

Why did Maplesoft create it?

• To build an effective, efficient way to direct the creative energy of our user community
• To connect the Maple community to promote collaboration and constructive communication
• To offer a contrast and complement to the corporate Web content.

Who manages it?

• MaplePrimes is funded by Maplesoft.
• In its first phases, the principal editorial and content decisions will be made by senior Maplesoft or "close to Maplesoft"? staff.
• Maplesoft will continue to fund MaplePrimes but the hope is that editorial and content operations will quickly shift towards a community oriented model

Where is this all going?

• Establish a great math computing portal and a place for people to showcase creative thoughts and innovative applications. There are lots of good math resources on the Web but many do feel that there is a lack of true interactive communities and we want to take the lead in this area.
• Over time, our plans are to deploy new technology such as MapleNet Web services, and online collaboration technology to explore the possibilities for the online math community.
